After spending the night in Hays, Kansas, June 19th's catch was an easy one. We were on the first cell of the day, a beautiful tornado warned classic supercell near Hill City. A second supercell developed to its south and became the show of the day. It right turned and built southward all the way south of Dodge City. However the original supercell produced a tornado that we did not see, since we had blasted south in front of the new supercell. I do not regret missing this tornado. You almost had to be in the wrong place to see it! This was one of the largest HP storms of the year.

Up close and personal. This storm had copious amounts of baseball sized hail. |
